WOW UH HELLO GUYS, LONG TIME NO SEE AM I RIGHT?! Heh- ANYWAYS, I'm back with a new hyper fixation, and as you can tell that would be for Bigby Wolf from The Wolf Among Us. I'm hoping I will keep this hyper fixation long enough for me to try and finish this whole fic, and to hopefully write a second part when the second game hopefully comes out.
ALSO YOU'RE LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD, YIPPIE!!! I literally couldn't find another connection to Bigby and the Reader as a Fable that I liked other than Little Red. Thank you to the people on Tumblr for the many ideas. I really appreciate it. Also you are Female in this Fic (Wow that's new for me) Obviously you can just imagine yourself as a Male, Gender Neutral, Non Binary WHATEVER, just know that I will be referring to the Reader with She/Her pronouns. Also I have an outfit(s) planned out for the Reader which yet again you do NOT need to follow, they are just there to help me write this out. ANYWAYS let's move on to the...
!WARNINGS!
This Fic Contains: Death, Profanities, Nudity, Mentions of sexual actions towards the reader and other characters, and more! This fic AND game is NOT suited for those who are under 18 (17 at the least cause on the game it says 17+). If you are uncomfortable with anything mentioned, feel free to either not read this fic or to just skip those parts.
With That said, ENJOY!!
This Story Adapts To The Choices Made By Me, Cause Ya Know... I'm Writing/Playing This LOL

Once upon a time in New York City there lived a community of fairy tale characters known as Fabletown. The Fables who live there arrived hundreds of years ago, after they were exiled from their Homelands.
. . .
Through the use of a magic spell called Glamour, they have protected their secret community from the mundane world.
. . .
Sheriff Bigby Wolf and Deputy (Y/n) (L/n) protect them from each other.

Radio static is heard cutting in and out for a few seconds before a man's voice is heard through a radio.
"-- Five today again, if you missed it a record for the date, hottest ever in June. 103 now, and the humidity looks low, but remember, the hotter the air is, the more moisture it can hold."
---
Crickets chirp in the night as a bridge comes into view, the only thing lighting it is a single street lamp, and the moonlight in the starry night sky. The city behind the park shines brightly as the light pollutes most of the stars from sight in the sky.
---
"So 103 with 31 humidity is a lot more humid than, say, 73 with 31 percent humidity. And it is muggy out there--"
---
The city buildings stand tall next to each other in the city, they all vary in size but all share the same bright yellow lights pooling out from each window they had. There was absolutely no darkness in the sky from the lights, as they too polluted the sky of its stars, showing only a few.
---
A lone cab drives down one of the many streets in Fabletown, every so often it is lit up by a street lamp. Two people sit in the back seat of the cab in silence as the radio finally cuts out, a man with unkempt brown hair that goes down to his shoulders with a stubble around his slightly chapped lips to match sits on the right side of the back seat. He wears a white button up with the first button undone with the sleeves rolled up past his elbows, a black tie hanging loosely around his neck, black dress pants that are in need of being ironed and worn black dress shoes.
A woman with (H/l) (H/c) sits to the left side of the cab, her (S/c) skin shining slightly as the street lights pool onto her form, lighting her up only for a few seconds. She wears a cream colored button up that is tucked into her black dress pants which are tucked into her boots making the tucked in part of her pants a bit puffed out and slightly cover the top of her long worn dark brown boots, and a long red hood is tied around her shoulders, the fabric soft to the touch.
Bigby sits looking out the window watching each building pass by with tired eyes, he lightly rubs them to attempt to rub the exhaustion away but to no avail, his hand shifting down to rest on his chin. (Y/n) shifts in her seat slightly as she too looks out her window, after a bit her eyes slowly shift over to Bigby through the glare on her window, a worried glint in her eyes. Bigby senses a pair of eyes on him, already knowing that it was (Y/n)'s, as he knew that she could tell that he hasn't been sleeping a lot as of late due to the massive eye bags under his eyes.
He turns his head to look at her to see that she has now also turned to him, his eyes widen slightly as he swallows a small lump in his throat before giving her a small reassuring smile as she frowns in concern at him. (Y/n) takes a minute to look over his features before she too gives him a small smile. She turns her head after a few seconds to start fiddling with her hood, her cheeks warming up a bit as Bigby stares at her for a beat longer before looking out the window once more.

The cab comes to a slow stop as it reaches its destination, an older looking hotel with two cars parked on the sidewalk in front of it. The building had graffiti on one of the alleyway walls and the front of the building, each one being different in design.
Bigby opens the door to his side, slowly sliding out of the cab and holding the door open for (Y/n) as she too slides from her side to the open door. She gives him a small nod and smile as thanks as she climbs out with Bigby closing the door when she stands on the pavement. The cab instantly takes off again when the door closes leaving the pair on the sidewalk.
Bigby takes out his pack of cigarettes named 'Huff & Puff', popping one out and carefully placing it between his lips before searching for his lighter in one of his pockets. He finds it after a few seconds flicking it open and brings it up to the end of the cigarette, flicking it and causing it to light up with a small flame, his other hand cups around the lighter to make sure the wind doesn't blow it out as it burns the end in a golden glow. He takes a small drag from the cigarette, blowing the smoke in the opposite direction of (Y/n) knowing that she wasn't too fond of the smell.
Tenement Building, Sometime After Midnight...
(Y/n) pulls out a sheet of notebook paper from her pocket with the words 'Toad's, 251 Barretto St, The Bronx' Bigby walks up behind her, glancing at the paper in her hand then looking at the building they were looking for. "Well, this is the place," (Y/n) huffs out looking from the paper to the building a few times to make sure that it indeed was the right building. "Let's get going, I really don't want to be out here any longer than we have to be."
Bigby hums in agreement as the pair start to cross the road, making their way to the entrance of the building.
---
Inside the building was a bit of a mess, the checkered floors were in need of a good scrubbing, a mat that at one point used to be centered in front of the entrance doors was now crooked and out of place, a trash bag sits in the corner at the end of the stairs and finally the doors have cheap wood planks nailed to them.
A 3-foot tall toad on his two legs stands at the bottom of the stairs gripping the railing while looking up the stairs with a cold glare, he wore a white V-neck sweater with a light pale green cardigan over it, black sweatpants and no shoes.
The front door slowly opens with a loud creek revealing Bigby and (Y/n)'s dark figures on the other side. The Toad doesn't seem bothered by the sound, as he is too focused on the commotion going on upstairs.
(Y/n) notices that Mr. Toad hadn't noticed that the two had arrived, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion for what could have Mr. Toads attention so much that he didn't hear them open the door and for why he looked like his fable self instead of human. She glances at Bigby who just shrugs his shoulders while taking another drag of his cigarette walking inside toward Mr. Toad with (Y/n) following close behind him.
"Mr. Toad?" Bigby questions as he gets closer to the amphibian who's eyes widen in fear slightly glancing behind him before looking to the floor. He mutters out a quick "Shit..." before turning around to face the two quickly putting on a tight lipped smile.
"Bigby! Oh and (Y/n) as well! Listen, mates, I know I don't look human." Mr. Toad waves his arms around a bit with a slight shrug. "It's a problem, I get it, I just stepped out of the apartment for just a second to see what kind of damage this drunk shit is doing." He glares while pointing up to the commotion upstairs.
Toad then buries his hands in his cardigan pockets, his eyes narrowing at Bigby and (Y/n). His eyes soften after a second "Just cut me a break, yeah? I'll get me glamour first thing in the morning. Cross my heart."
"Look, no harm done. I'll give you a pass but listen..." Bigby raises an eyebrow looking down at Toad, pointing at him with his cigarette. "If you can't afford to look human, you're going to the farm, It's as simple as that." Bigby lightly glares at Toad to try to get his point across to the man
Toad looks up at the two, his eyes widening a bit with fear. "You can't send me up to live with those animals..." Toad trails off as he looks between the two. (Y/n) and Bigby share a blank stare at each other before looking to Toad with quirked brows, Bigby putting his free hand on his hip while (Y/n) crosses her arms around her chest.
Toad looks between the two of them confused before glaring up at them putting his hands in his pockets again. "You know what I mean."
(Y/n) sighs, shaking her head at the Toad "Look Mr. Toad, we're just doing our jobs. You have to go see a witch and get some glamour, before a Mundy see's you." (Y/n) looks down at the Toad with a hint of sympathy.
(Y/n) sighs, shaking her head at the Toad "Look Mr. Toad, we're just doing our jobs. You have to go see a witch and get some Glamour, before a Mundy see's you like...this." (Y/n) looks down at the Toad, gesturing to his body with her hand, a hint of sympathy on her face.
Toad looks to (Y/n) with a slightly saddened look in his eyes "Deputy, they're bleeding me dry, mate. The quality of the spell goes down, but the rates keep climbing up." Toad motions both of his hands in a climbing up motion as he waves them for a bit then to himself. "Do you have any idea how much it costs to have an entire family in Glamour?" Glass shatters from up stairs making the three of them look towards the stairs.
Bigby lightly taps on his cigarette with his finger, flicking some of the ashes off of the end onto the floor. "I don't make the rules. Sorry." Bigby looks down at Toad with a slightly saddened look before his usual glare takes its place once again. "We can't give you a free pass on this, Toad. Our hands are tied." Toad slowly nods his head looking up at the two sadly "Right, right."
(?) Toad Will Remember That
"There is too much at stake. I promise that whatever it costs, it will be worth it Mr. Toad." (Y/n) says her eyes softening at Toad's sad expression. "You don't want us catching you out of Glamour again." Bigby's eyes narrow as he glares down at the Toad, who looks up at the two a bit fearful.
Bigby lifts his cigarette up to his lips taking a drag, not even flinching as a window is heard shattering, a Tv set falling outside loudly shattering as it hits the pavement outside. Mr. Toad jumps in horror, his hands coming up to his head in disbelief as (Y/n) squeals at the loud sound, jumping back and looking at the Tv set with widened eyes then to Bigby with utter confusion as to how he didn't even flinch, who just smirks at her.
"Fuckin Hell!" Mr. Toad shouts, placing his hands on his hips and looking up at (Y/n) and Bigby in distraught. "See? This is what I called you about Sheriff and Deputy." He glares up at the two waiting for them to start moving towards the stairs. "You just gonna stand there? Do something mates. Before he completely tears up the place." Toad pleads looking up at them with wide eyes.
(Y/n) looks to Bigby seeing what he had in mind for them to do, she watches as he just flicks the ashes off the tip of his cigarette onto the floor glaring at the amphibian in front of him who glares right back at him. "Oh... Thanks for that, Bigby. You're a real gentleman."
A loud bang is heard from upstairs following with a groan from a man as the ceiling above them drops a ton of dust onto the three as they all look up confused as to what was going on.
Mr. Toad crosses his arms across his chest glaring up at the two "This is the last straw. He has to go!" Mr. Toad then looks towards the stairs before looking back at the two with pleading eyes. Bigby sighs as he tosses his cigarette to his right, not really caring if it would make Mr. Toad mad. "Fine. We'll head up." The two walk pass Mr. Toad as they start ascending up the old wooden stairs. "Don't forget to get your Glamour, we don't want to come back here because you don't have any." (Y/n) states looking at Mr. Toad with a stern look before continuing to follow Bigby up the stairs.
Mr. Toad leans against the railing as she talks then pushes himself off as they disappear upstairs he smiles and waves as they leave, his smile and hand falling once they are out of his sight. He glares up the stairs "Furry pricked gobshite and red hooded bitch... tell me how to spend my money..." Mr. Toad looks to his right, spitting as he continues to glare.
"Dad? The lights are shaking again." A little voice softly shouts from behind a door as a younger toad peeks out from behind the door looking at his father who moves away from the stairs lightly glaring at the kid. "What'd I say? You want the Big Bad Wolf and Red Riding Hood to take you away?" Toad questions making the kid slightly cower as he slowly starts to hide himself behind the doorway mumbling a "No..." for an answer.
Toad scowls at the kid pointing at him "Then get the fuck back inside."
WOW! So chapter one is finally done. I was planning on just writing the actual chapters in each episode like it is in the game, but decided against it since I'm rusty with writing fanfiction and thought I'd pace myself with uploading and how much I write in each chapter. Hopefully it won't be too long when I update again, I hope you guys enjoyed this first chapter!! :D
